I am a red personality, which sounds powerful until you realize it mainly means I came with hazard lights and no owner's manual. The four color system says red is the protector that sounds noble. In real life, it means I walk into every situation like somebody left the stove on. Normal people enter a room and say, how is everybody doing? Red people enter a room and say, what is broken? Who broke it? And why are we still talking about feelings when there is tape in the garage? That is my gift and my curse. My heart is good. My delivery just sounds like a warning label. I have had to learn that not every conversation is an emergency. That is hard for red people. We treat brunch like a disaster drill. Somebody says, I am thinking about changing jobs and I am already building a rescue plan on a napkin. Green wants data. Yellow wants to make sure everybody feels supported. Blue wants to read the room. Red is already outside starting the truck. Where are we going? I do not know. But indecision is disrespecting my blood pressure. Being red at 50 is hilarious because you finally have enough wisdom to know you need patients but not enough patients to use it. I can feel myself evolving. Old Jesse would react immediately. New Jesse waits almost three seconds. That is growth. That is a seminar. That is a man fighting generations of emotional drag racing. The problem with red is we think speed equals love. If I fix your problem fast, that means I care. But some people do not want you to fix it. They want you to listen. That is where I get in trouble. Somebody tells me their day was hard and I start installing a solution like emotional dry wall. They say, I just need you to hear me. And I say, I did hear you. That is why I brought a ladder. That is not romance. That is a maintenance ticket. The four colors saved me because it gave me language for my own nonsense. With that, I just thought I was right and everybody else was moving through syrup. Now I know I am red, which means I am still right but I should probably say it slower. That is the roast. Red people are protectors but we can accidentally protect people from peace. We see danger in delay, weakness in softness, and disrespect in a calendar invite that says maybe.

Blue teaches me to adapt instead of bulldoze and red teaches me that sometimes love looks like action, but sometimes love looks like shutting up for one full minute and letting another human finish a sentence. That is my spiritual cardio now. One minute of silence. No fixing, no rescue plan, no business model. Just Jesse standing there like a pressure washer with the trigger locked. That is why bombed.
